hello everyone - my 1st post! Just joined as DS in yr 5 at a state primary, and considering applying in autumn for Watford Grammar and other local good state schools, plus Merchant Taylors. Think I'm getting the hang of the timetable of it all. One question though - what happens if you miss out on top state choice 1st time and are on a continuing interest list for a good state grammar like Watford on Mar 1st, but you have to answer an indie who's offered a place? What kind of deadline are you guys being given for indies this year? many thanks

Based on this year's timetable - indie offers from all the main schools came out on 23 February, most by post, one or two use email. Scholarship/bursary acceptances must be received by Monday 5 March, fee-paying acceptances by Wednesday 7 March. As State selective offers came out on 1 March, this gives just a few days from receiving State offers to having to decide what action to take. There is always the option of paying the deposit to an Independent if you are on the waiting list for your preferred selective and keeping fingers crossed that the selective comes through - but you will lose your deposit.
